Taz and Excalibur Run Down the Card

Colt Cabana defeats Peter Avalon

Cabana tossed Peter’s book in the air and then kicked Peter in the stomach. Avalon tossed Cabana to the outside and then hit a cross body from the top rope when Cabana got back in the ring. Cabana hit a pair of elbows and double hand chops. After a flip-flop-and fly, Cabana managed a near fall. With both men standing on the apron, Cabana clotheslined Avalon into the ring where he hit a superman pin for the victory.

TH2 defeats Michael Nakazawa and Brandon Cutler

TH2 immediately attacked. Evans hit a handspring back elbow where he rotated to the outside for the landing. TH2 then hit a double stomp assisted side slam for a near fall on Nakazawa. Evans and Angelico isolated Nakazawa for quite some time with Angelico using a number of submission moves. Michael Nakazawa used some oil to get out of the submission hold and continued to use it to escape a double suplex. Once he got the tag to Cutler, Brandon hit a flying forearm and a senton. After a guillotine legdrop on Angelico, Cutler hit a springboard elbow drop on Evans for a near fall.

Nakazawa used oil as mist, but hit cutler on accident. Evans hit an Asai moonsault to the outside on Brandon Cutler. After Angelico hit a razor’s edge buckle bomb, Evans hit a 630 splash on Nakazawa for the pinfall victory.

Penelope Ford defeats Riho

Riho got the first major offensive move with a dropkick and then a pair of knee strikes in the corner. When Riho went for a third, Kip Sabian grabbed Riho’s foot. As Riho went for a clothesline, Ford ducked into a back bridge and hit a stunner. Penelope used a handspring back elbow and a delayed vertical suplex for a near fall.

Back in the middle of the ring, the two women exchanged elbows. Riho hit a double stomp, a Tiger Feint Kick, and a crucifix bomb for a near fall. From the top rope, Riho at first got distracted by Sabian, but she eventually hit the double stomp for a near fall.

Ford went for a V-Trigger, but Rhio moved and connected with a German Suplex. Riho had to use a snap dragon suplex to get rid of Kip Sabian, but Ford then hit a back handspring stunner and fisherman suplex for the pinfall victory.

Christopher Daniels defeats Stu Grayson

The referee ejected both the Dark Order and SCU leaving just Daniels and Grayson. Grayson slipped to the outside where Daniels hit a dropkick and tossed Grayson into the barricade twice. Back in the ring, Christopher Daniels hit a diving cross body for a two count.

Stu Grayson turned things around when he hit a ura nage. Grayson would then move on to hitting Daniels with a number of punches, chops, and kicks. Grayson continued his advantage hitting a senton on the apron, but he missed a frog splash. Daniels answered with an exploder suplex into the corner and then a flying forearm. Grayson leaped from the apron into the ring grabbing Daniels for a swinging DDT and a running knee for a near fall. Both Daniels and Grayson exchanged kicks, but Grayson hit a face first slam out of a fireman’s carry for a near fall. With Daniels on the mat, Grayson went for the best moonsault ever, but Daniels moved out of the way and followed up with the Angel’s wings.

Grayson went for Nightfall, but Daniels escaped into a pinning combination to earn a victory. The Dark Order hit the ring, but SCU and Colt Cabana made the save.

Daniels Short Interview
